The cuff band is provided with button holes at its central portion and at its ends, adapted to register with the button holes 13 and 16 Vin the pockets 10 and the flap 14 of the cuff, when in position on the band, and ordinary collar buttons 18 are passed through these registering button holes,'thus securing the cu" in position on the sleeve of the shirt. In this way the cuff and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
